Weighing up a top buy-side offer, but worried about perception on my overall tenure within roles.

May only be in this new ASC role for ~1y (personal circumstances). This would make 3 roles in ~3.5 years ( T2 consulting -> MBB -> buyside) out of undergrad. Long-term want to be entrepreneurial / do early-stage investing (Partner-track at a fund), have clear rationale for previous and future moves.

Is this an issue or am I overthinking? Thoughts?

Personally don't think it's much of an issue. The reasoning seems rational.

Hi Fishes,

I have been offered 40 CTC for the C3B role (8.5 exp) Could you please help me in taking the decision.

Q1) how much percentage of Performance Pay generally people get on average. E.g. if it is X then will they give X or 50% of X.

Q2) Is this offer as per TCS standard?

Q3) Does it worth joining TCS from Big4 with just a 25% hike as I am expecting a 15% hike in the current firm in June?

Thanks!
